portunity, as the word here implies; there is
something better to live for. As we see by
V. 50, Christ's teachings are not wholly mega
tive as given in the preceding verses; with
this verse we come to the positive side. We
now see what we ought to seek. The king
dom of God.-This is to be sought first in
time and first in Importance. Righteousness
here is conformity to Gods will Seeking
this first, we seek earthly objects Alright. The
thirty-fourth verse seems to be summary Of
the teaching already given. The former ex.
hortation is repeated with additional reason.
Undue care for tomorrow units for the
duties Of today.
POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED.
1. The man who gives any creature the first
place in his heart is an idolater. That place
belongs to God. Every idol should be de-
throned that Christ may be enthroned.
2 Having done our whole duty, we are to
depend on God for food and raiment and all
spiritual blessings.
8. Seek first in time and in importance the
kingdom Of God; then both worlds will be
yours. He who seeks only this world loses it
in its best meaning, and heaven also.-Sunday
School World.

MARINERS tell us that there are some
pars of the sea where there is a strong
current upon the surface going one way
butthat down in the depths there is q
stro,g current running in the other di'
recton. Two seas do not meet and in
terfre with one another; tut one stream
of water on the surface is running in
one direction, and another below Is
flowing from the opposite quarter. Now
her(is a picture of Christian life; the
Christian Is like that. On the surface
then is stream of heaviness rolling
witt dark waves; but down in the
dephs there is strong undercurrent of
gres rejoicing that is flowing toward
heaen.

Now THE Administration has opened
its heaviest gun on reformers them>
selves. President Edgerton. Of the Civ
il Service Commission, publicly declares
that in his opinion the Civil Service Re-
form League is made up of "a lot of ir
responsible individuals, banded together
for the avowed purpose of annoying the
Administration This is what might
be expected. 1t is the logical end of all
that the Administration and its chosen
agents of reform have been doing about
reform for some months past. First,
the President let his orders to office
holders go by the board. AS Mr.. Curtis
expressed it in his speech, "That order
may be regarded as withdrawn" Next.
the Civil Services Commission virtually
announced that there is nothing in the
law that need restrain oficehOlders from
discharging Republican clerks in the
classified service without cause, and that
if they succeeded in appointing Demo-
Gratis in their places the Commission
could not question their motives. Next,
Mr.. Edgerton took the position that int
vestigation by his Commission should
not be ordered, and that in future he
would not countenaDce them. Thus
withio brief. period every restriction
has been removed, aud all oficeholders
have been given free swing to make
clean sweep of Republicans and to fill
the vacancies thus created with Demo
Gratis. A few days ago Col. Switzler.
the head of an important bureau in
Washington, boldly made known in a
public interview that every time be
wanted clerk he got Democrat. His
explanation showed that he violated the
law and the regulations of the President
to accomplish his purposes. But, then
the President and his Commissioners
seem to agree that the law and the rules
were made to be broken in the interes,
of Democrats, and now the legitimate
result has been reached. The Civil Ser
vice Commission. through its President
has opened an attack upon the Reform
League, of which Mr.. George William
Curtis is the most brilliant luminary
and denounced it as composed of LOT
of irresponsible individuals engaged II
a conspiracy to bother the Administra'
ton. This is worthy of Higgins. II
fact, it reduces the Civil Service Com
mission to the Higgins level, and fol
consistency's sake Edgerton should give
way to Higgins. 1t will be spectacle
in the war for reform worth looking a
to see Mr.. Curtis and his forces, who
have so long had their backs against tht
White House, receive his broadsid,
straight from the rear. 1t is certainly
the newest thing that has been tried OF
reformers for long time. The repor
of Mr.. Curtis upon the engagement
which ought to appear in the next mum
Der of his Journal of Civilization. shoult
be of superlative interest.-Cin.Com. ia

EDITOR REVIEW -: There are just
now under consideration in our Iegis-
lature measures Of great importance, on
which it may not be out Of place for
citizens and constituents to express their
views. The high license bill belongs to
this category. In reference to this
measure permit me to say that, while [
believe that a few honestly and faith
fully support it, thinking it the best
mode of dealing with the liquor ques-
ton, it was in my opinion conceived by
plotting politicians who have nothing
to lose and everything to gain, and who
think Of riding into power again in the
event of its success. The inaugural
address of our Governor, in recon-
mending the passage of a high license
law, did not, in my opinion. voice the
sentiment of the majority that elected
him. It is, therefore, high time for
those desiring fair play, to rise and en-
ter their protest against delivering the
reins of great state like Minnesota in.
to the hands of a small minority. We
all know that the prohibition element
in this State is a mere drop in the buck
ct; yet by the adoption of this measure
they would win the day and prohibit
men of small means from doing bust
ness. The worst feature of such a
measure is its injustice for it is based
upon the principle that, no matter how
honest or how deserving we are, uaa9ess
e0e haze plenty Of money, a0e cannot do
business. 1t practically confscates
thousands of dollars worth of property
from poer people by way of leaving on
their hands furniture and fixtures that
are of no earthly use or good to them or
any one else, and all because they have
not the $500 or $1,000 requisite to the
purchase of a license. Right here let
me suggest that, if the movers of the
high license measure are pushing it for
the good of mankind, as they claim,
and want to deal impartially and fairly
with all, they ought to show it by MAX
ing provisions in the bill that the State
shall purchase from all compelled to
retire from the business their stock,
furniture, fixtures, etc. IF this is i'm
practicable, the bill should provide that
these people be permitted to continue
business without State license until
they can dispose of their things in the
regular course of business. I for one,
however, believe the present law good
enough if enforced. and think it should
be allowed to stand as it is. - Respect
fully yours, S. D. PETERSON.
